Some random thoughts

So, we all know that elves live a long, long time.  We also know that it can
take a long, long time to travel in Spelljammer.  And we know that the fast
Unhuman War covered a vast number of spheres.

So, is it possible that the First Unhuman War hasn't actually ended?  That
there are still entire Elven Fleets, in far distant spheres, still hunting
the enemy?  That there are Elven Admirals who just haven't gotten around to
checking in to base, because they've only been in the field for a few
centuries?

Could there also be vastly militaristic societies of Goblinoids, honed by
the unnatural selection of genocidal warfare, skilled and organized beyond
the dreams of the Scro?  Societies who have never known anything but endless
warfare with the vast might of the Elven Imperial Fleets?

Is it possible that the Admirals of the combined Elven Fleets *know* the war
still continues?  That they maintain the fiction of a "first" and a "second"
Unhuman War for political reasons?

Just a few thoughts.  Plot seeds, or rumors to fuel the paranoia and the
penny-dreadfuls of Braal.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words;
on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them
unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
